Text files corresponding to pB plots #201

Closed mgalloy closed 1 year ago

mgalloy commented 3 years ago

Currently, four plots are made of pB at various heights:

The pipeline should record the data from these plots in analogous text files:

The data should be in four columns with a header. For example:

Date, Time, pB, Height
20210106, 205011, 4.5, 1.11
....

There should also be more header above the column names that mentions MLSO K-Coronagraph, pB, azimuthally averaged over 360 degrees, etc.

From @jburkepile:

The header text should include a brief description plus column titles and units. The pB units should be in B/Bsun so they should have values such as; 4.5 e-07. Please include the exponent. Let me know if this sounds okay to you:

This text file contains calibrated polarization brightness (pB) measurements of the low corona from the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory K-Coronagraph (K-Cor) over one observing day. Each measurement is the azimuthally-averaged (i.e. averaged over all angles around the corona) pB measurement at the height indicated in the table.
